You left a few things off your list Art...

Segregation...was this not the essence of 'Big Government'?
Jim Crowe was the result of the government taking it upon itself to decide where people sat on the bus, which water fountain they used, where they sat to eat, who they went to school with, etc.....
Sounds like a government that is too big to me.

McCarthyism...the government decided what political parties you could belong to, who could write for the movies, who gov. employees could associate with.
Too much government for my taste.

And a personal favorite of mine...the Hayes office. I think I like it so much because it was a public-private partnership. The goverment cowed Hollywood into industrial censorship. By threatening to bring the full weight of government power to bear on them, the gov. actually forced the movie business to set up its own little Film Czar.....
Big government ain't always friendly.
